Yamaha expects Toprak Razgatlioglu to ride the M1 MotoGP machine “right after the Superbike season”.
Yamaha expects Toprak Razgatlioglu to start preparing for his 2026 MotoGP switch after the World Superbike season ends at Jerez on October 19. It is likely that he will participate in a private test before the official Valencia MotoGP test in mid-November. Managing Director Paolo Pavesio expressed gratitude to BMW for their cooperation in this transition process. Razgatlioglu’s previous MotoGP test with Yamaha in 2023 did not meet expectations, leading him to stay with BMW and claim the WorldSBK title. Yamaha is optimistic about Razgatlioglu’s potential in MotoGP, which he will begin with Pramac on a full factory ride. Despite some initial challenges, Yamaha anticipates a successful next chapter with Razgatlioglu in MotoGP.
